  • Patent number: 9317085
    Abstract: An electronic device and a method for controlling over clocking of CPU are provided. A temperature sensing element is coupled with the CPU and used for sensing the temperature of the CPU. A control circuit is coupled with the temperature sensing element and the CPU used for determining whether the temperature of the CPU is higher than a first threshold temperature. When the temperature of the CPU is higher than the first threshold temperature, the control circuit controls the CPU to enter an idle mode and determines whether the temperature of the CPU is lower than a second threshold temperature. When the temperature of the CPU is lower than the second threshold temperature, the CPU is controlled to return to a normal mode. The first threshold temperature is higher than the second threshold temperature, and the clock rate of the CPU is maintained at same clock rate.
